¡Bienvenidos! Welcome!--- This site is in transition: you are one of the first visitors to the new the Lago Lab website!---

We opened our doors in the Department of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University in August 2017. Our research comprises a diverse range of projects under the broad banner of ​plant systematics, from alpha taxonomy to the study of rapid diversification in the Andes. Most of our research focuses on evolution of Neotropical flora, including the co-evolution of hummingbirds and their food plants, exemplified by sicklebills and Centropogon​ (photo at right). You can find us in the Shirley C. Tucker Herbarium, home to ca. 350k plant specimens that motivate our research.
